Online bullying: Ask.fm taking steps to heighten security features

News

Summary: After being acquired by Ask.com three months ago, there have been many areas in which Ask.fm has needed new security features which, according to spokeswoman Valerie Combs, weren't put into place by its old Latvian owners. As a result, Ask.com has been looking at ways of heightening security features to reduce the instances of cyberbullying and other forms of harassment on their newly acquired platform.
